Has anyone seen Jonah Bolden play? Can someone tell us about his game? Any NCAA or NBA Comparisons? What can he bring to our team? When can we expect Jonah Bolden to make his decision?

Nice slashing/shooting wing. Would be a great get. Probably behind the 8-ball, he's likely staying out West...

Again, why would you title a thread with "Johan Bolden to SMU?"

"June out, Morris in" - FTHP
"Johan Bolden to SMU?" - StandUp

Two peas in a pod. It must be fun trolling.

LA_Mustang,

Why would I title a thread "Jonah Bolden to SMU?" Because he is currently our #1 or #2 recruiting target. Just thought that it would be nice to learn a little more about Mr. Bolden.

Why would you spend your time going through ponyfans.com criticizing thread titles and accusing people of trolling? Really? Are you the Thread Title Police? You should ask for a raise. Sounds pretty time intensive. That is pretty funny. :) If it really matters to you, I am an SMU Alum, not trolling. Don't know FTHP. Already made this clear on other threads.

Instead of looking for trolls and critiquing thread titles, how about having something of value to add to this thread. I am sure you have some valuable insight into the recruiting of Jonah Bolden. Right? If not, keep your weak, gold standard posts about trolling and thread titles to yourself. Pony Up!

No. It takes me five minutes to scan the threads. I'm not the thread police, you can post what b.s. you want. I just get tired of useless garbage like you consistently post even after being advised not to. If you continue to do it be prepared to get called out. When we see threads like "Bolden to SMU", or "Jones out, Morris in" those thread titles are obviously intended to get someone's hopes up without any real substance. If you really wanted know about Bolden there are already several threads with info on him. Go to YouTube like we do and enter his name, plenty of clips will come up. Go to rivals or scout, they have tons of info on him. Don't start a thread indicating he has committed, or has possibly committed, which is how most would interpret a thread titled "Bolden to SMU?" But in the meantime keep playing the I'm a new SMU fan on the board and golly gee I just want to know more about the SMU teams. Some may still buy your story.

The question mark kind of gave it away that he hadn't committed...no worries from me StandUp, I knew you were just asking when I opened it. Not to mention, I think people would have known considering he's not making a decision for a little while yet.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember it having a question mark originally. Could be wrong, but I'm just saying....

He did, blackout. Regardless, i think it's b.s. to start a thread (enter any recruit's name) to SMU?! when your only purpose is to receive info on the player. Maybe it's just me.

Again, I don't make the rules but if I wanted to know about a player, say Myles Turner I'd just title the thread "Myles Turner," not "Myles Turner to SMU?" I see the later as misleading rather information seeking, but I guess it's just me. Plus, considering the poster's pattern in recent weeks, it's just annoying to me.

Question marks have a specific meaning.
